GARBAGE CAN.

Application filed August 2, 1922. Serial No. 579,163.

1 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1', JOSEPH DOMPIER, a citizen of the United States,residing at T0- ledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Garbage Cans; and I dohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

The invention has relation to a receptacle for garbage or other refusewhich is taken up periodically by a collector, and has for its primaryobject to facilitate the collection of such refuse without requiring thereceptacle in position to insure a collection of the contents thereof.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent and suggest themselves asthe nature of the invention is understood.

While the drawings illustrate an embodiment of the invention it is to beunderstood that in adapting the same to meet different 2' conditions andrequirements, various changes in the form, proportion and minor. detailsof construction may be resorted to without de arting from the nature ofthe invention.

eferring to the accompanying drawings forming a partof the application,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a garbage can and mountings thereforembodying the invention, showing the normal position of the parts forreceiving garbage or other refuse,

Figure 2 is a side view showing the position of the parts when adjustedfor dumping the contents of the can or receptacle, and

Figure 3 is a sectional detail.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription and designated in the several views of the drawings by likereference characters.

The numeral 1 designates a fence such as commonly provided for enclosinga building lot. A framework 2 is provided adjacent the inner side of thefence 1 and projects some distance thereabove. This frame work may be ofany approved construction and pivotally supports a frame 3. A shaft 4 ismounted in the upper portion of the framework 2 and for convenience isprovided with a crank handle 5. The frame 3 is secured to the shaft 4 toturn therewith. The frame 3 has lateral arms 6 at one end which receiveslides 7. A can or receptacle 8 is journaled to the slides 7. A bridle 9connects the can or receptacle 8 with a crossbar 10 of the frame 3 andlimits the turning of the can or receptacle whereby to insure adumpingof the contents thereof as indicated most clearly in Figure 2. Acover 11 is hinged to a side of the can or receptacle 8 and operates asa deflector to insure delivery of the garbage or other refuse into thereceiver when collecting the same. The frame 3 is pivotally supportedintermediate its ends and is counterbalanced at the end opposite thatprovided with the arms 6 and the can or receptacle 8.

Figure 1 shows the normal position of the parts when the can orreceptacle 8 is arranged to receive garbage or other refuse, the samebeing suspended from the ground and disposed upon the inner side of thefence 1. The collector-operates the crank handle 5 to turn the shaft 4and frame 3, whereby the latter is reversed and the can or receptacle 8thrown upwardly and outwardly,

- whereby it assumes the position indicated in Figure 2 so as to dumpits contents into the wagon or other form of receiver utilized in thecollection of the refuse. The pivotal movement of the frame 3 invertsthe can or receptacle 8 and causes outward movement thereof on the arms6, the tilting of the can being limited by the bridle 9 and the cover 11swinging into open position and operating as a deflector to direct therefuse into the receiver. After the refuse has been dumped, thecollector operates the crank handle 5 to return the parts to normal position substantially as indicated in Figure 1.

What is claimed is:

1. In an appliance of the character specified, a framework, a framepivotally mounted thereon intermediate its ends and having lateral armsat one end and a counterbalance at its opposite end, slides mounted onsaid frame, and said bridle adapted to swing said receptacle on itsjournal to invert the re ceptacle and dump its contents.

3. In an appliance of the character specified, a framework, a framepivot'ally'mounted thereon intermediate its ends and having lateral armsat one end and a. counter balance at its opposite end, slides mounted onsaid arms, a receptacle journaled to said slides, a bridle'between thereceptacle and frame stops at the free ends of said lateral arms, andsaid 'bridle adapted to swing said, receptacle on its journals to invertthe receptacle and dump its contents, said bridle becoming active as thereceptacle slides to- 15 Ward the ends of said lateral arms.

In testin'iony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of twoWitnesses.
